Critics Consensus

Kicking Blood overcomes evident budget limitations with solid acting and a vampire story that has an emotionally impactful twist.

Meagan Navarro

Bloody Disgusting

It's a breathtaking but somewhat empty waltz through vampirism.

Rated: 2.5/5

With its breathtaking cinematography and effectively low-key performances, Kicking Blood is marked a unique spirit of slick delirium, where desire and ennui make strange yet effective bedfellows.

The Movie Buff

Kicking Blood intends to be a “satire” of what we call “serious” vampire films.

Rated: D

Unfortunately Kicking Blood wants to give a soul to its vampires without having a soul of its own. The result is lethal. [Full review in Spanish]

Culture Mix

Kicking Blood tries to draw parallels between alcoholism and a vampire's lust for blood, but this boring horror flick fails miserably as a scary movie and as an intended love story.

Kicking Blood is, unfortunately, wanders in space while trying to make a romantic vampire story. While it focuses on the pleasure that the vampire gets while sucking blood, the movie deviates from its path and misses the target. Actually, a good idea is unfortunately wasted.

The first victim's acting was a *little* wooden, and even the lead's, at first, I thought was a little stilted. But she grew on me. And overall this film is worth a watch. It's thoughtful, and the cinematography, acting and dialogue are all good. It's something different--maybe a little like Let the Right One In (though clearly a bit lower budget) and a teensy bit like Romeo and Juliet, even.
